#4 Ezequiel Lavezzi (Hebei China Fortune): £290,000 a week

After a chequered career in Europe with Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain, Lavezzi decided to embark on a lucrative adventure East and found himself in the CSL. His reward: a healthy £290,000 a week salary.
The Argentine turns out for Hebei China Fortune and has done decently in his time at the club. Across two and a half years, he has made the net bulge more than thirty times.
Though his stint in China has largely been a success, one just gets the feeling that Lavezzi was lured in by the money a little too early. In 2016, he still had a lot to offer to a host of European clubs and with the move to China, he effectively ended his national career as well.
However, the silver lining for him has to be the gigantic amount of money he gets paid every week. And that I’m assuming is an aspect he would be foolish to complain about.
